Mini Gift Guide + #H54F Link Ups

Happy Friday! Well all I can say is "Hallelujah!" It has been a busy week around here with the holidays, work, preparing for baby and I have one of my closest friend's weddings coming up in about a month. Just lots to do so not much to report:

1. MAKE UP

This week with the drastic change in temps (in the teens, eek!) I have been more into my darker lips and my Tarte eyeshadow palette. I also LOVE Tarteist creamy matte lip. Perfect for Winter. Some days my make up is just ok but one day this week, I don't know I just loved it.

2. PUPPY UPDATE

These dogs rarely cuddle together. I captured this brief moment.

3. TARGET STYLE

This week I posted about my velvet dress from Target that is perfect for the holidays. Target took notice and shared my picture on their awesome shop. I was pretty pumped, so excuse the brief brag.

4. MINI GIFT GUIDE

Ok so no, I did not lose count it just wasn't an eventful week. I did put together a little gift guide for some remaining shopping.

Chokers are still very in style. I am not into the thick chokers I prefer a dainty choker. This one with a little jewel is perfect for right now and can be versatile. These velvet sneakers and dark lip are equally on trend. I am super into velvet right now so anyway I can wear it I will. Why not on my shoes? Burgundy is a great color for this time of winter. This dark lip from Urban Decay would be flattering on everyone. It hints a bit at goth but, hey, this color is fab and the Vice lipsticks are perfectly pigmented. I have been reading that these black ankle boots are the "it" boot of the moment. You can make this work with a dress or leggings and wear all winter long. The last three are just closet staples. Everyone needs a tote. They are perfect for travel or taking to work. You can put a lot in them without have to close them. I always beat mine up for that reason so I need a new one often. A big ol' plaid scarf? Need I say more? I think Zara has corned the market on these. Last but not least a blingy watch. Fossil never disappoints and I love the blue strap to make it unique.

What do you think? Leave me a comment below I would love to hear from you.
